Allow me my own diginity
I came to the city with
My head so full of dreams
The city was safe alright
But not from me
See I've been in trouble since
I lay my suitcase down
I love the sound of my own voice
But now I want it drowned
I've got nothing to be proud of
There's so little I possess
I gave away my love and my
My diginity
And somehow I
Covered up the rest
How did it all go so wrong
It was nothing like
This in the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice
Hear his laughter in the wind
Saying boy you'll
Never amount to anything
I clutched at desire I never
Listened to my heart
I didn't know I had one that
It could beat so fast
Oh I've been a user
Such a liar such a fake
Always thinking of myself
Always on the make
Now I've got nothing
I can give you
Except self-pity and regret
But if you let me prove I love you
I'll be the one boy you'll never forget
How did it all go so wrong
It was nothing like
This on the Tv screen
I can hear my mothers voice
Hear her crying in the wind
Saying boy baby boy
You can be anything
How did it all go so wrong
It was nothing like this
In the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice
Hear his laughter in the wind
He was right I'll never be anything
He was right I'll never be anything
Wrong - Boy George
